Mulled Wine Recipe

A simple Mulled Wine Recipe that’s really easy to make at home with a handful of warming spices and a little touch of rum to spice it up some more! You can make it on the stovetop really easily or warm it up in your crock pot.

What is Mulled Wine?

Mulled wine is simply wine, usually red, that’s been warmed up (but never boiled) with some warming winter ‘mulling’ spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, anise, allspice, vanilla, and then added fruit and sugar.

In Europe there are various versions of mulled wine that you may have heard of including Glogg which hails from Sweden, or Glühwein which is a German version of mulled wine.

Sometimes other liquors are added to the red wine, in this recipe I’ve added a little rum and some Earl Grey Tea which adds a lovely mild fragrance to it.

How do you make Mulled Wine?

It’s really easy to make mulled wine. You simply add the red wine to the pan or slow cooker and add in the various spices, extra alcohol if the recipe calls for it, and any additional fruit. You need to warm it up to simmering point but don’t allow it to boil.

If you prefer you can make mulled wine in your crockpot, it’s a great way to serve it if you’re having a party as it keeps it warm for a longer time than just leaving on the stove and there’s no risk of boiling the wine, which would be a disaster!
